Hadith 3599

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، بِصَخْرَةٍ مَنْقُورَةٍ ، فَاحْتَلَبَ فِيهَا ، فَشَرِبَ وَشَرِبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَشَرِبْتُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، قُلْتُ : عَلِّمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّكَ غُلَامٌ مُعَلَّمٌ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِيهِ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً .
The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, however, in this version the words are that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a stone that was hollowed out from the inside, and milk was milked into it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also drank from it, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and I also drank from it. After a short while, I came again and requested, "Teach me this Qur'an as well." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You are an intelligent boy." Thus, I listened from the blessed mouth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and memorized seventy surahs.
